Evaluation of application

stempelSQUARE.jpg

For candidates who have already been appointed to a PhD position through the university or RCN (Research Council of Norway), a copy of the project description used when applying for the PhD fellowship could be submitted as part of the application for admission to doctoral training. As part of its evaluation, the faculty must consider whether the project can be completed within the financial framework that the candidate has been allotted. The annual research budget available to candidates varies between departments. A funding plan that exceeds the research budget from the faculty must be approved by the supervisor in a statement in which the research group and/or supervisors state that they will make the necessary funding available. The faculty makes the final decision on applications and on who will be admitted to doctoral training. On admission, the main supervisor and co-supervisors are appointed. Admission does not guarantee funding beyond the contract period.
